To the resultant were added 3.85 g (3.51 mL, 0.0248 mol) of 2-isocyanate ethyl methacrylate and dropped by a syringe two drops of dibutyl tin (IV) dilaurate. After about 23 hours, the reaction solution was transferred to a 1 L recovery flask and dichloromethane was evaporated in vacuo. To the residue was added 300 mL of methanol to give a suspension, followed by stirring and washing for about 2 hours and filtering in vacuo. The residue on a filter paper was transferred to a 2L Erlenmeyer flask and 1.5 L of ethanol was added thereto to dissolve under refluxing by heating with installing a Dimroth condenser. After keeping standing overnight at room temperature, the precipitates were recovered by filtration in vacuo, and the resultant was dried by a vacuum drier at 50°C for about 24 hours to give orange powder. Yield was 7.81 g (91.1 %).

- An infrared absorption spectrum of the resulting compound was measured by an infrared spectrophotometer (Spectrum One K.K. Perkinelmer), whereby two absorptions (1688, 1720 cm-1) considered to be by a carbonyl group other than absorption by a carbonyl group originated from UV-PEP (1624 cm-1) were observed. From this, it was confirmed that a polymerizable group was introduced into the resulting compound.

To the resultant were added 8.80 mL (62.2 mmol) of 2-isocyanate ethyl methacrylate, followed by stirring with installing a Dimroth condenser. After about 127 hours, the reaction solution was evaporated in vacuo. To the residue was added 1 L of methanol to give a suspension, followed by stirring and washing for about 1 hour and filtering in vacuo. The residue on a filter paper was dissolved in 200 mL of chloroform. About 50 g of silica gel was suspended in a suitable amount of chloroform and poured into Hirsch type funnel (Φ60 mm) wherein a filter paper was equipped to fill the paper. A filter paper was placed on the silica gel filled and a chloroform solution in which the above prepared residue was dissolved was poured thereto. The solution was filtered and additionally about 600 mL of chloroform was gradually poured to recover all filtered solution, followed by distilling in vacuo. The resulting residue as suspended in 3 L of ethanol to dissolve under refluxing by heating and filtered under heating. After keeping standing overnight at room temperature, the precipitates were recovered by filtration in vacuo, and the resultant was dried by a vacuum drier at 50°C for about 23 hours to give crystalline orange powder. Yield was 19.02 g (88.8 %).
- Similarly to Example 1, the resulting compound was subjected to HPLC to obtain purity. Purity was 98.7 %.
- Further, as the result of measurement of the 1H NMR spectrum of the resulting compound similar to Example 1, the compound showed the same spectrum as in Synthetic Example 1 and two signals considered to correspond to a phenolic hydroxyl group were observed at δ 12.89 and 13.96, and thus this compound was as in Example 1, confirmed as BMAC wherein a polymerizable group was introduced into a primary hydroxyl group of UV-PEP.
- The infrared absorption spectrum and the UV visual light absorption spectrum of the resulting compound were the same as in the compound obtained in Example 1.
- 7.24 g of UV-PEP and 5.0 g of triethylamine were dissolved in 100 ml of benzene, and to the solution was gradually added a methacryloyl chloride solution (2.41 g/50 ml benzene) with agitation. After keeping standing for about 3 hours, the solution was washed with distilled water, and filtered, and then dried to solidify in vacuo. The resulting dried solid was recrystallized from 500 ml of chloroform-hexane (2:5), whereby only a trace amount of the object compound was obtained.
- 0.35 g (2.84 mmol) of 4-dimethylamino pyridine, 0.5 g (1.38 mmol) of 2,4-dihydroxy-5-(4-(2-hydroxyethyl) phenylazo) benzophenone (UV-PEP) and 0.23 mL (2.71 mmol) of methacrylic acid were dissolved in 15 mL of dichloromethane, and kept at about 20°C by a water bath with magnetic agitation. 0.60 g (2.91 mmol) of dicyclohexyl carbadiimide was dissolved in about 10 mL of dichloromethane, and the solution was dropped to the above reaction system by a dropping funnel. After agitation for certain time, white powder was precipitated. After reaction for about 22 hours, the reaction solution was filtered in vacuo to remove the precipitated white powder and the solvent was evaporated in vacuo, and the residue was subjected to HPLC.
- The reaction solutions of Example 1 and Example 2 and Comparative Example 2 were subjected to HPLC analysis under the following conditions, and percentages of the peak area were measured on BMAC in cases of Examples 1 and 2 and on 2,4-dihydroxy-5-(p-methacryloyloxyethyl phenylazo) benzophenone in cases of Comparative Example 2, whereby yields of the object compounds were obtained. Result is shown in Table 1.

Then the blended solution was polymerized at 80°C for 40 minutes to form a lens. The resulting lens was used as a sample for measuring light transmittance of a ray having a wave length of 220 to 800 nm (Figure 2). Further, after the lens was subjected to elusion treatment by immersing in ethanol at 40°C for 24 hours, the light transmittance was measured again, whereupon no change in the spectrum before and after the elution treatment. This shows that the polymerizable dye was chemically bonded in the material.
- A lens was prepared by the same manner as in Example 3 excepting adding further 0.15 part by weight of 2-[2'-hydroxy-5'-(2"-methacryloyloxyethoxy)-3'-tert-butylphenyl]-5-met hyl-2H-benzotriazole as an UV absorber.
- The resulting lens was used as a sample, and after the same manner as in Example 3, light transmittance of a ray at a wave length of 220 to 800 nm was measured (Figure 3). As a result, no change in spectrum of light transmittance before and after elution treatment, and thus it was confirmed that no elution after polymerization occurred even co-use of other UV absorber together with the polymerizable dye of the present invention.
- A copolymer was prepared by the same manner as in Example 3 excepting using 2,4-dihydroxy-5-(p-methacryloyloexyethyl phenylazo) benzophenone synthesized in Comparative Example 1 in place of BMAC synthesized in Example 1, and elution was measured. As the result, no elution of a dye was observed.
- As the benzophenone type polymerizable dye containing an urethane bond of the present invention contains an UV ray absorbing part and a visible light (about 380 to 500 nm) absorbing part in one molecule, it shows light transmittance near to a natural crystalline, and thus it is useful as a material of an ophthalmic lens. Further, due to the urethane bond contained, the polymerizable dye of the present invention is more flexible than conventional polymerizable dyes, particularly even when it is used in a fordable intraocular lens, its flexible properties are not damaged, and as a chromophore and a polymerizable group are sterically-separated form each other, it is valuable also from such a viewpoint that no polymerization suppression is given. Still further, the said polymerizable dye can be copolymerized with other material for an ophthalmic lens, and thus the resulting material for an ophthalmic lens shows remarkably excellent resistances against light and chemicals, and also excellent fastness and additionally elution from the ophthalmic lens can be suppressed. Therefore, it is possible by using the polymerizable dye of the present invention to obtain an excellent ophthalmic lens having high safety, no decoloring nor color change due to elution of a dye. Further, it can be used to coating agent and a building material other than the above use.
- Still additionally, according to the method of producing the benzophenone type polymerizable dye of the present invention, even when a material such as UV-PEP or others containing one primary hydroxyl group and two phenolic hydroxyl groups is used, an isocyanate compound containing a polymerizable double bond can be reacted selectively with a primary hydroxyl group, and thus the object compound can be obtained at a high yield. Thus purification can be simple, and complex working can be reduced, and also it is advantageous from cost point of view.
